Rubber floor lining

[Jodstar]

I have recently bought an FC wagon in very original condition,
so original, it had the original rubber floor lining. I have since
removed it due to it's worn condition,but was wondering if
anyone knows of any reproductions?  ???

Obselete Auto Rubber in Melbourne remake the original floor mats - last cost was $280.00 for the front, and $280.00 for the rear. These are a VERY good repro and worth the money.

They advertise each month in Unique Cars, just at the end of the colour section.

Cheers,

Craig.

Anyone know if you can colour these repro rubber floor linings?

You can - Graham Pryce added the FC "speckle" to his, and it looks very good indeed.

gp - any tips on how to do it?

Yes I did add the speckle to mine and (thankfully) it turned out quite good. I practiced on the back of my old floormat first, to see how it went. Very importantly, clean the new floormat thoroughly before you start (from memory I scrubbed mine with prepsol). I then used about a 1" or 2" paintbrush, dipped it in the paint, held it upside down (bristles pointing up) and flicked it with my finger until I had the desired result. I was VERY nervous about stuffing it up, but as Richard said, it turned out very good.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Graham.

Do you know if they can be painted a colour.I have an EK and it is painted blue and I would like to match it.Mine is not in a speckle finish.

Hi Geoff.
That would be a very hard thing to do. Firstly, trying to find a vinyl paint that will work, then trying to match it to your colour.
I am not sure if you realise, but the floormats in the FB's & EK's were not fully coloured. All black, some got the speckles. The EJ started the fully coloured mats. Send me an email (to Remind me) & I will look up the details in my EK master parts catalogue.
